Android/iOS: If you want to know what the weather is like, you can always look outside, but if you're headed across town or across the state, you may want to know what the weather is like at your destination before you leave. Nooly is a new app for iOS and Android that promises to give you super-precise conditions and forecasts, using NOAA's own data.

Nooly's approach is to use local weather information from individual weather stations to try and give you a more accurate forecast—not just whether there's a chance of precipitation for your zip code, but whether your neighborhood, or the part of town you're headed to, will get any rainfall today based on their current conditions. The app promises accurate conditions without 0.4 square miles of your current location, updated every five minutes.

Nooly is fresh out of beta, so it's not the prettiest weather app on the block, but it's definitely functional. We tested it, and the forecasts are accurate and there's plenty of weather data to dig through if you want. Nooly pulls data from NOAA radar, NOAA and NASA satellites, and nearby weather stations to offer forecasts that a relevant specifically to where you are and where you plan to be. The app often offers multiple forecasts for different parts of town, because conditions vary widely even in small areas. It has some work to do to compete with other big apps in the field, but focusing on accuracy and local forecasts may be the way to do it.

Check out the video above for a quick primer on how the app works. For now, Nooly is only available in the US and Canada. It's free, and available now for iOS in the iTunes App Store and for Android at Google Play.
